Sounds very psychosis inducing.

The ability to create black holes. Just wanna fuck around and find out.

Hmm, reminds of this part of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory

I think this is an excellent question. People often forget about threats to families/friends, and only consider their own lives.

It’s of course very context-dependent and I’m sure different people have different beliefs. For example, if your friends and families are ardently against the government and would be willing to risk a lot, and you are having an impact, you might just ignore the threats.

And in a way I think if more people think like that, it’s best, as that makes blackmail to friends/family worthless.

In most other scenarios, I would give them one chance. After all there is other good that can be done in this world. However, if they show that they can’t be trusted. I’d consider that I have nothing left to lose, and go hard.

If it’s gripping, and I don’t get distracted by something else more gripping, I’ll burn myself out binging everything. ADHD and OCD might play a role.

If you want to leave her, I think that’s what you should do. Her actions as a result of your boundaries are not your responsibility. She has her needs, and you have yours. You are not her therapist. You can still say this in a respectful manner, doing your part. How she reacts is her part.

My “ex”, that is someone I told from the start I’m not sure about this, which she said she was okay with, but then started calling it a relationship, also used self-harm and a bunch of manipulative stuff. She also had heavy BPD, which helped me understand some of her actions better. I don’t blame her for the manipulation and everything, but I simply have my boundaries too. So when I broke things off as respectfully and considerately as possible, she went on a self-destructive binge for a couple of weeks. We became friends for a while afterwards. And she told me how much the “break-up” had hurt her, and asked me if I’d feel guilty had she killed herself. I would feel absolutely terrible. But I’d know it wouldn’t have been my fault. Which she agreed with. I mean, for me at least, what’s the alternative? Both of us living a vapid relationship that has no roots, out of fear?

I think walking once a day, even if it’s just for 15 minutes is one of the most essential things that most people can do.

Just bear in mind, you probably need it all: mobility, stretches, strengthening, cardio. I’d guess especially your core muscles and harmstrings are short and weak and gonna need some attention.

Yoga is incredible for me. And I find it easier to follow-through if I do it in a small group or 1-on-1 to just listen to whatever the person in front says and follow.

You all are forgetting that cats live on this planet too!

I mean, kinda hard to say without context. Are these aliens even compassionate? How smart are they and what’s the reason for blowing it up? etc.

If I can’t argue how fucking stupid it is to destroy the entire planet, I might become a fervent earth-destroying zealot and undermine their efforts through my utter incompetence.

The way I see it, no matter how bad things are, it won’t distract me from the fact that every good thing matters. If not for me, if not for other people, then people who will come after. I’m only one person, but at least trying to do my part and being grateful for the things I have and receive, be it friends, a bed, food, a roof, a fun moment. And I can still accept the terrible state of so many things also.

Or in the words of David Graeber: “The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.”

Definitely up there. I didn’t include it because others mentioned it already when I wrote this.

This is as meaningless as gently blowing smoke away with your mouth when your house is on fire.

Where are the sanctions? Where is the dispelling of diplomats? Where is the ending of Trade and military support? Where is the independent verification of genocidal Israeli narratives?

  There is so much material out there from people in the CIA itself telling how the cannon of all this stuff is them making people believe that shit, e.g. area 51 to distract from actual weapon testing.

Cairokee - Dinosaur

Great speech. Thanks for sharing!

Apparently Pterodactyls aren’t Dinosaurs :(

Also, I think this belongs here: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/oct/23/dinosaurs-asteroid-struck-research

Oh my god, his work is beautiful. Also, your consideration is sweet, and reasonable :)

The colours and a lot of aspects fit, but I find the expression of the face, with the hands pressed against the head goes in a completely different direction with what looks like panic or despair.

That sounds really spot on! I’m feeling cozy thinking about it :)
